Our family enjoyed a peaceful and relaxing time! A great location with beautiful views from the home and porches. The home was lovely and comfortable - everything you could need has been thought of and is available. We hope to return to this special place!

My husband, our toddler, baby, and dog thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful home with gorgeous beach views. The beach is a very short walk and the area is not only beautiful but nice and quiet. We enjoyed a bonus siting of a deer right outside the window early one morning and again in the evening as we were watching the gorgeous sunset. The house was fully stocked with all of the basics and was very clean. Melissa and Paul were also very responsive. We highly recommend this great house!

We used the house as our home base. It was roomy enough to welcome and entertain our family and friends that had traveled to the area for my son’s wedding. It was the ideal place to meet before and after pictures, as everyone was arriving before rehearsal dinner, and a stopping point before heading to the airport after the event.

Had a wonderful getaway at Melissa and Paul’s beautiful cottage in Westport, Ma. It’s a nice location not far from some local beaches and also not far from Rhode Island. It is a pretty and peaceful location providing awesome ocean views and gorgeous sunsets from right from their front porch. Melissa and Paul were sweet hosts, and they provided us with some treats from local businesses upon arrival. We definitely recommend renting with them.

Fantastic location! We enjoyed many long walks ( with our dog as it was off season) on the almost deserted beaches to both sides of the house. The views from the porches/deck were great. We particularly enjoyed evening cocktails on the side porch watching the sun set over the water- pond, marshes and ocean all visible together. The cottage was very comfortable, clean and everything you could need. Hosts were friendly and helpful. We intend to visit again, hopefully for a longer stay this time!

Originally, we were planning to spend 5 days with my wife's sister at her farm in Vermont. Her well dried up due to the drought and we decided to meet on the Rhode Island coast instead. We found a small, comfortable cottage with spectacular vies that was a short walk to the beach. The house met all of our needs. The owners were especially friendly and gracious. We would certainly be happy to return another time.

Perfect for us!

Melissa and Paul were excellent at communicating. Check in process was simple. In fact, Melissa and Paul greeted us and showed us around. They are super nice! Kitchen and living room are even bigger than they look in the photos. We had our daughter, her husband, and their two small kids first night and took them to the beach. The whole trip was worth seeing our less than 2 year old granddaughter laugh with joy at the waves and did not want to stop. My husband and I were alone for the last 4 nights there. We loved the quietness of the neighborhood, hearing the waves and the birds---grilling fresh seafood almost every night with fresh vegetables from farm stands. Beds were very comfy, loved the new tiled shower. Our favorite spot was either the rockers on front porch in the morning, or two chairs by the open windows inside---fabulous views. Air smelled so good. Thank you, Melissa and Paul! And Wesport Rose you left for us was delicious!

This lovely cottage is the perfect retreat for family and friends. We are a family of four and absolutely loved our time here; complete with the distant sounds of the ocean and morning bird calls, views of the beach and salt marsh ponds. We can't wait to return. Thank you for providing such a special experience!

We had a wonderful relaxing time at the beach. The views are just beautiful from all over the house. (especially the top deck) The house is open and bright, very clean, cozy and everything we needed. The beach is just a very short walk down the road. It was just what we needed, a peaceful get away. Thank you Melissa and Paul!

Great views of a beautiful location!

Great views of a beautiful location!

Walking into Paul and Melissa's cottage on Howland Rd was enough! The magnificent views of Richmond Pond (with swans and geese) and waves breaking at Brayton Point were amazing. And from the rooftop deck, you also got the added view of Eastcock Pond, the Westport River and Horseneck Beach in the distance. Who could ask for more? But there was more, body surfing at Elephant Rock Beach in late September (the weather was plenty warm). We really loved our stay, the kitchen and living area are very ample, and the beds are comfortable. And windows all around to remind you of where you are.... We highly recommend!

AMAZING STAY!! 4.75 Star Stay

We have to say this has been an amazingly relaxing stay. First of all Melissa & Paul wonderful people and host. They are friendly and very informative on the area. They even leaves little treats from the area for you. The home is very clean and has everything you may need. Short of your food. We travel a lot and stay in many places. This one was the most relaxing and just gives you the feeling of being home. We even extended our stay a few days longer. Melissa & Paul even worked with us for that. Yes!! We have booked for next year already. I have and do highly recommend this cute cozy home. With the perfect location. I give them a 4.75 stars.. Its a must on your list of places to stay

what the doctor ordered

what the doctor ordered

As a 14 year VRBO veteran, we are very careful about the properties we rent, especially those that are premium properties like this one at Howland Beach. Starting with the owners, they gave a very accurate listing, were responsive, communicative and clearly wanted the renters to enjoy the property. WE DID NOT WANT TO LEAVE. This listing is all about having an easy time at a wonderful beach, in a rather exclusive neighborhood and around a very relaxing atmosphere of recreation. Bring your bikes. You must ride to the knubble at the harbor entrance and enjoy the views. Take a swim at the beach for sure. The Acoxet neighborhood is wonderful for long walks, bike rides and runs. Dogs are very much welcomed. We stayed for two weeks and wished we took it for longer. If you want a 'scene', it not here. Go to Newport for that. Everyone here is very comfortable in their own skin and it is all about enjoying the natural beauty with beaches and rolling pastures. Paul & Melissa make it very easy for you to do just that. My highest compliments.

There is nothing I can say about this exceptional beach cottage. Photos do not do justice. A very quiet and beautiful area, view of the ocean, birds and geese cackling and flying overhead, lovely place to walk your dogs, and the breathtaking beach. Very clean, nice deck, airy and you smell the ocean and get the lovely breeze. Absolutely the best place I have ever stayed. Friendly people and a great supermarket not far away. If you need a respite from a busy life or harried job, come here. The O,Connors are exceptional hosts and very attentive. I will definitely go back to this piece of heaven.

Great location for relaxing. House was well furnished and clean. Met Paul on first day and he was really nice and accommodating since we got there an hour earlier than expected. The only set back was that you have to really go out of the way if you want to go to restaurants and when you are traveling with kids you want to be able to have things to do close by. Oveall great place would definitely go back.
